Path of Exile - F2P Action RPG

Path of Exile is a free online-only action role-playing game set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast. It is currently under development by Grinding Gear Games in New Zealand. New players are being added continuously to the Closed Beta Test.

Game Features:

Completely free to download and play
A persistent online world capable of supporting hundreds of thousands of players
A dark and gritty game world rendered from a fixed 3D perspective
Battle dozens of foes across a variety of unique areas
Randomly generated levels and items for extreme replayability
Online ranking and ladders for every game mode
Visceral combat with dozens of combinable skills
Battle in PVP tournaments for worldwide recognition

I heard rumors that open beta would start this month so I held off, but if anyone has a closed beta invite I'd be more than happy to join in, I must have wasted six or seven years of my life playing diablo 2.

When you create a character in Path of Exile, you choose a league for that character to exist in. We expect and encourage most players to play in the default league, but other leagues exist for specific play styles or events.

Characters can only see and interact with other characters in the same league. In this way, each one is its own isolated economy. The default league is extremely large and hence acts as a general economy for all characters that were not created in a specialist league. All characters in a league have access to the same shared stash pages.

Cut-throat

The cut-throat leagues appeal to the niche of players who demand the most hardcore gaming experience possible. In this mode, all world areas are public, with full PvP enabled by default. Slain characters drop all their items upon death. This game mode can also be combined with Hardcore to create an even more unforgiving world.
